posted without reading other replies. You just named the band members of The Mosquitos, Sherwood Schwartz’s loving homage to The Beatles as depicted on Gilligan’s Island. Second to Gilligan, I was their biggest fan. I think they were much more musically significant than The Redcoats. ---

Well, **Ferd Burfel** , you didn’t give us a show to guess, so I’m going to guess where you get your handle. _Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In_ Here’s one: “Somethin’ about that boy just ain’t right…” ---

It’s also said by the Engineer in Team Fortress 2 in addition to whatever tv show you’re referring to.[/spoiler] ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > “You’re about to go where _everybody_ has gone before.” That was my second favorite line(maybe third) from that show! It was Susan Ivanova, speaking to Captain Sheridan via a holographic projection, as he put the moves on a female agent. This was to keep her from seeing the image.
